Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

Li Changgui entrusted his wife's dowry servants to guard his house in Beijing and manage his hundred acres of land.

Cui Luanluan packed up her dowry and sealed up all the things that were inconvenient to carry in the house.

On the 10th day, he went to Li's residence to meet his stepmother, Madam Zhao, to pay his respects and inform her that the couple would be leaving the capital and returning to Suzhou to study for the imperial examinations.

Zhou Qingqing was jealous of Cui Luanluan's happiness. Seeing her smiling face every day, she wanted to tear her face apart. Why were there so many differences between the same brothers? Li Changyu often went to Baihualou to find the courtesan and came back very late every day. Her mother-in-law only cared about her son's promotion in official position and wanted to enter the upper aristocratic circle.

"Since you're back in Suzhou, live a good life. Write back when you have time." Mrs. Zhao had a cold expression and didn't want to talk more.

"My son is not in the capital, so I hope you take care of yourself," Li Changgui saluted respectfully.

"Second daughter-in-law must take good care of Changgui"

"I don't need you to waste your time greeting me, go back and pack your bags."

Mrs. Zhao waved her hand to let the two of them leave, and looked up at Zhou Qingqing who was immersed in her own thoughts.

"Qingqing, you should also try your best to get pregnant as soon as possible, so that those bastards won't have sons before you."

After hearing what my mother-in-law said, I came to my senses and responded with a stiff expression.

"Mom, I understand."

She secretly hated her mother-in-law because she knew that she had just gotten married and her husband was away from home early and came back late, and was bewitched by some bitch outside. How could she give birth to a son alone?

He returned to the yard and angrily swept everything on the table to the ground.

The personal maid saw that the lady was angry and knew why, so she offered some advice.

"Madam, I see that my son-in-law is being harassed by a woman outside. Why don't we quietly get rid of her?"

Zhou Qingqing got an idea after hearing what the maid said. Following her suggestion, she arranged for the man who came with the maid as a dowry to use the silver note to redeem the person, and then sold the person far away to a secret cellar to serve customers.

North City Li's House

Cui Luanluan was busy asking Qiao'er to pack her clothes and seal up all the dowry, taking everything that could be taken and leaving everything that could not be taken here.

This time when Li Changgui returned, he wrote back to the Li residence in Suzhou, asking Old Man Jia and his family to clean the house to welcome the arrival of the mistress.

Sanbao knew that they were going back to Suzhou, so he followed his wife's instructions and locked up everything in the front yard. The packed items were packed.

Two days later, Li Changgui took his wife and left the capital in a carriage.

After spending a day on the road, we arrived in Nanning and took the water route, finding a passenger ship to Suzhou City.

"How is it? Are you still vomiting?" Li Changgui patted Cui Luanluan on the back.

"It's okay, I'm just not used to riding a boat all of a sudden." Cui Luanluan leaned weakly on his shoulder.

Li Changgui looked at her pale face and thought for a while. There were snacks such as sour plums in the space that could relieve nausea and vomiting. He would find a chance to open the package and give them to her to try.

"Qiao'er, you stay here and take good care of my wife. I'm going to go outside and see if there's anything that can help stop the vomiting."

After saying that, he left the room and went to a secluded place. He took out various candied fruits such as sour plums from the space and put a lot of them in porcelain jars.

After walking on the deck for a while to get some fresh air and look at the scenery outside, I returned to the room after a while with the porcelain jar in my hand.

"Luanluan, try eating one pill to see if it can stop your vomiting," he handed the porcelain jar to Qiao'er.

Cui Luanluan ate a few sour plums and felt a sweet and sour taste in her mouth. They were so delicious that she ate several in a row. She felt less like vomiting and the dizziness also faded a lot.

After two days of sailing on the boat, we finally arrived at the Suzhou City Water Transport Terminal.

They hired a lot of laborers to carry the luggage, and took a horse-drawn carriage to Li's house in Jieyuan Alley in the north of Suzhou.

Sanbao went forward and knocked on the door. When he saw Old Man Jia open the door, he told him that the young master's wife had returned, and quickly called someone to help carry the luggage.

The quiet Li residence finally became lively after the owner returned.

Li Changgui introduced his wife to Old Man Jia's family and Master Wang and others, and she would be in charge of the management of the Li residence from now on.

At noon, there was laughter and joy at the Li residence. Cui Luanluan also asked Chef Wang from the kitchen to prepare three tables of food, and everyone ate together and got to know each other.

Sanbao, his wife and son bowed to the lady and introduced his wife and children.

"This child is really chubby and cute," Cui Luanluan was envious, wondering when she would have her husband's child.

He took off a gold bracelet on his hand and gave it to the wife of Butler Li.

When Sanbao's wife saw the gold bracelet, she was so happy that she thought the ladies in the capital were so generous that they just gave her a gold bracelet.

Cui Luanluan instructed Qiao'er to give three months' salary to everyone in the house as a congratulations.

Old man Jia was very happy to hear that he could get three months' salary, especially when he met a mistress with a good personality.

Master Wang from the kitchen sat at another table with his two apprentices, watching the harmonious couple happily following the host.

In the afternoon, Li Changgui took his wife to visit the three-story mansion to familiarize themselves with its layout.

Qiao'er took over the backyard with her servants, arranged for people to clean it, and put the girl's luggage in place.

Just at this time, the couple came to the backyard, and the wife told her that because there was no maid in the house, only Nanny Zhou, the backyard was basically closed.

"See if there's anything that needs to be changed here, and I'll arrange for someone to redo it."

Cui Luanluan was in a good mood and told her husband that there was no need to make any changes, just plant some plants and flowers in the yard to decorate the environment.

In the evening, the couple had dinner in the backyard, passing food to each other affectionately.

After washing up in the bedroom, Li Changgui did not refuse his wife's approach.

When Cui Luanluan saw other people's children during the day, she also wanted to give birth to a child for her husband as soon as possible. She put aside her shyness and took the initiative to help her husband take off his clothes and go to bed.

After three months, the couple's efforts paid off.

This morning, Cui Luanluan woke up with some discomfort in her chest. After washing, she felt nauseous. She vomited during breakfast. The doctor diagnosed her and found that she was more than two months pregnant.

Li Changgui was also happy to hear the news, and was relieved only after asking about her health and finding out that she was fine.

I instructed the kitchen to pay more attention to the ingredients, avoiding those with cold properties, and not allowing ingredients that are not good for pregnant women to appear on the table.

When she was nearly five months pregnant, Cui Luanluan was sitting under the windowsill in the backyard doing needlework in a very good mood. She was almost done with a green robe with auspicious cloud patterns on it.

"Madam, your needlework is really good. Look at the dark pattern embroidered here. It's so beautiful." Qiao'er watched the robe that Madam made for her grandfather.

Now everyone in the Li residence has started to change their way of speaking, calling the couple Master and Madam, and are happy that the Li residence has a next generation of young masters.

"In the past few months, my husband has often gone out to the Hexuan Academy outside Suzhou to listen to the teacher's lectures. It's too tiring to run back and forth every day."

"I want him to wear the clothes I made." Cui Luanluan had another thought that Qiao'er didn't know about. She embroidered her name inside the collar.
